Ruling on greeting those who sit on the sidewalks during prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
We find people from the town, and we do not know whether they are Muslims or disbelievers, even though the indication is that people are heading to the mosques, and they are sitting on the streets and sidewalks. Do we greet them?
You do not greet these people as long as they are sitting and the people are praying. The most likely case is that these are disbelievers.But tell them to pray, and if they say: They are not Muslims.You tell them: Stay away from the mosque. It is not permissible for a disbeliever to remain in front of the mosques while the Muslims enter to pray and he remains there; because this is a challenge to the feelings of the Muslims.It is said: Go to your room or walk around the markets. Do not come here and sit by the mosque.
